The one year spent together with Lelouch is not a waste. Rollo learnt about warmth and Lelouch 'cared' about him. Despite his mission, Rollo is already reluctant for the fact that he tried to get Lelouch out of the tower in Turn 1. He is obviously afraid that Lelouch will return to his old ways and they will be no longer brothers. His refusal to kill Lelouch may get himself killed by Britannia side . He seems like a sacrificial character. The tie with Lelouch had become important to him.

About Rollo's age confusion, this is a scan from the booklet given with the May issue of NT released this month.

Below is the scan of NT Romance Spring issue released in March.

So, how old is Rollo actually?
Anya is understandable as her age is changed from ? to 14 years old I believed someone mentioned that she is 16 somewhere.

Well, one thing in that tense situation made me laught... Rolo said: "Lelouch, die along with that demon eye of yours" like geass in his own eye is not evil at all He seemed to be his "younger brother side" until Lulu mentioned using his geass and that pushed him to use his own powers.

If they didn't bother to put it in the brackets like all the others, I'm just going to assume they're guessing. >_> However, this has been very useful. thanks pink.

argh...why can nothing ever be simple. Well, all we need to do is see young Rollo meet with Lelouch in the anime, and using that we'll be able to pinpoint his age...I think.

Yes, I hope it will appear. It's best if we get to see it in Turn 4 later Since Rollo has character design of his young self. There will be flashback of Rollo. Just cross our fingers and hope that Prince Lelouch will appear

Since I heard that Charles has been choosing his wifes according to Geass potential, I started wondering if Rollo could be one of the results of this breeding program, separated from his mother since his potential was detected by V.V..
For all we know maybe his mother may even have been Marianne, and her death due to her resistance to forget aout her second child.
So probably most of his life was made of training to make him into a perfect tool for Charles deeds, deprived of the affection of a family.

That's really only baseless speculation at this point so I don't think you should put much stock into the theory until we get more info about Rolo >_>

Well sure the Marianne part is baseless, but I'm sticking to my Geass-compatible breeding program, aka Rollo may be an offspring of the Emperor, which Geass potential was decided too powerfull/usefull for him to be a public figure among the royals, thus he was "erased".

Or maybe it was just a Geass-compatible detection program, which spotted him at young age, and wouldn't need him to be an offspring of Charles...

Well, the DS came featured a comment on how all the wives he chose to have children with were those with Geass potential. I don't think that whole thing about being too powerful would be right though since having potential doesn't make you dangerous unless you actually et Geass.

I could always see him being some sort of genetic experiment though.

But Mao had an extremely powerful geass, and yet he clearly isn't related to anyone in the Britannian royal family.

I don't think we have to jump to the conclusion that Rollo has any kind of royal blood in him at all at this point, it's hardly been shown to be a necessity.

I thought it'd be his hair color actually, I always thought Nunnally took more after Charles myself >_>

Edit: Since Mao's Geass was aways permanent they were that same as every Geass eye color we've seen up to this point, which isn't saying much seeing the difference in color between Lelouch's own eye and his Geass eye.

My point is powerfull + USEFULL, this Geass potential would have been considered too usefull to not be used.
I think that Rollo was detected and then trained to be Charles perfect tool (at least it shows clearly that he has a Geass fitting a sly assassin).
